Leasehold Enfranchisement: Overview
What is Leasehold Enfranchisement?
We recognise the concerns and complexities that often come with leasehold ownership. Leasehold enfranchisement offers leaseholders various pathways to greater control and long-term security.
Leasehold enfranchisement is an umbrella term which refers to various rights that leaseholders have to either collectively purchase the freehold of their property, exercise their right to manage or extend their leases.
The value of enfranchisement lies in the empowerment it gives leaseholders.
Common Scenarios for Enfranchisement
There are several situations where leaseholders may pursue enfranchisement:
- Service charge disputes with landlords
- Maintenance disputes with landlords
- When a property is sold without tenants being offered the right of first refusal
- To gain long-term control and security over the building
- When re-mortgaging or selling a flat and realising that the remaining term of the lease is less than 90 years.
Because the process is complex, legal advice from lawyers specialising in leasehold enfranchisement is invaluable. Having our experts guide you ensures your rights are protected and your investment is safeguarded.
